Answer 1

The following code outputs the number of words whose first and last letters are equal. Tested and verified using a python online compiler:

words = ['aba', 'xyz', 'xgx', 'dssd', 'sdjh']  
count = 0  
for i in words:  
     if i[0]==i[-1]:
        count = count + 1  
print(count)  

Output:

$python main.py
